दांत में छेद हो जाए तो क्या करें

　　Title: "If a Cavity or Cracked Tooth Develops, What Should You Do?"

(Answer in English for Indian Context)



Immediate Action


Rinse Thoroughly: Use warm water to flush out debris and reduce bacteria.
Avoid Sugar/acidic Foods: Prevent further decay by skipping sugary snacks, soda, or citrus fruits.



Home Remedies (Traditional Indian Suggestions)


Baking Soda Paste: Mix baking soda with water to form a paste. Apply it to the affected area 2x daily for 5 minutes.
Neem Leaves: Crush fresh neem leaves, mix with salt, and apply topically to reduce inflammation (avoid swallowing).
Clove Oil: Soak a cotton ball in clove oil and place it on the cavity. Clove contains eugenol, a natural pain reliever.



Seek Professional Help


Visit a Dentist:
Cavity Filling: Composite resin or amalgam fillings for small cracks.
Root Canal: For deep infections reaching the pulp.
Crown/bridge: For severe fractures or missing teeth.


Emergency Care: If swelling, severe pain, or fever occurs, go to the ER immediately.





Prevent Future Issues


Daily Brushing: Use fluoride toothpaste twice daily.
Flossing: Clean between teeth to prevent plaque buildup.
Diet: Limit sugary treats and stay hydrated.




　　Note: Traditional remedies can temporarily alleviate discomfort but do not replace professional dental care. Early treatment saves teeth and prevents costly procedures.


　　In Indian contexts, consult a "Dentist" (دентист) or visit a "Government Dental College" ( सरकारी दांत विद्यापीठ ) for affordable care. Avoid self-medication for cracks to prevent complications.
